Shoulder pain — Chiropractic care in Cupey, San Juan
Reaching the top cabinet, buttoning your clothes, sleeping on your favorite side — shoulder pain turns simple gestures into difficult tasks. And because you use your shoulder all day, it rarely improves on its own if the cause is not addressed.
Common symptoms
- Pain when raising your arm or reaching for objects
- Shoulder pain when sleeping on that side
- Stiffness or loss of strength in the arm
- A feeling that the shoulder "locks" or clicks
- Pain originating in the neck and radiating to the shoulder
How we help you
Shoulder pain often does not start in the shoulder: it can come from the cervical spine or from posture. That is why Dr. Martínez evaluates the whole picture — neck, upper back, and shoulder — with in-office digital X-rays, to find the true origin of the problem.
Your plan may combine adjustments, therapeutic massage for the shoulder muscles, and laser therapy for inflammation. Many patients report regaining movement and sleeping better as their care progresses.
